Dorm: "Alumni Hall." Major: "I am a sociology major. I want to work with kids, if I can. And if I can't, just working with people in general." Favorite movie: "'300.'" Favorite TV show: "'Family Guy.'" Song you're listening to right now: "It's by SD. 'Don't Believe Me.'" Role model: "[Former NFL wide receiver] Randy Moss."

Getting To Know … JUNIOR WIDE RECEIVER CHRIS BROWN ✦ GIMME FIVE The 17-14 victory versus Stanford Oct. 4 marked the seventh consecutive time Notre Dame won a game that was decided by four or fewer points. The last time the Fighting Irish lost such a contest happened to be against this week's opponent, Florida State, 18-14 in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl. The Irish squandered a 14-0 second-half lead in that defeat against the Seminoles. In 2012, Notre Dame won all three contests decided by four points or less: Purdue (20-17), BYU (17-14) and Pitt (29-26 in triple overtime). The Irish also won all three in 2013: Michigan State (17-13), Arizona State (37-34) and USC (14-10). This current streak of seven is tied for the longest in school history with two other such runs: Consecutive Wins By Four Points Or Less Rk.
